Synopsis

Album Description
Song: "Don't Blame Me" Music by Jimmy McHugh, Lyrics by Dorothy Fields, Performed by Leslie Uggams The Bad and the Beautiful had been set in Hollywood, but Two Weeks in Another Town moved the location to Rome, where washed-up actor Jack Andrus (Douglas) is summoned by his former director (Edward G. Robinson) to assist him on a cheapie for a foreign producer. From there Jack's "two weeks in another town" find him coming to terms with his past through a new web of personal relationships. Although not a sequel to The Bad and the Beautiful, composer David Raksin treated Two Weeks in Another Town as a virtual "part two," reusing several of his themes from the earlier picture, including, briefly, the main theme itself -- for a screening of The Bad and the Beautiful as one of the "former productions" by the new film's characters. Music Composed and Conducted by David Raksin

Willard M. Payne | 04/12/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A sensational drama that takes on the form of a living nightmare in what was then the world's most exciting city and the soundtrack by David Raskin matches it perfectly. CD requires repeated hearings to appreciate the haunting atmosphere and hopefully you would have seen the movie."
